Severe Weather Brings St Andrews to a Halt

Class cancellations and early closures expected across St Andrews as winter storm rolls in.

Tuesday 27th February saw St Andrews covered in a rare blanket of snow, with the cold weather increasing this morning.

Snow in this little town by the sea is apparently so rare that the Met (Meteorological) issued red weather alert has sent the University into shutdown.

A sign in the library stated this morning that the premises would close at 5 p.m. due to severe weather conditions. However, a bit after noon, the library announced over the loudspeaker that, “Due to the Met office issuing a red weather warning for St Andrews we will be closing all library sites at 2 pm to ensure staff safety.”

This disruption to library opening times was followed by an email being sent out to students by the University Procter Lorna Milne informing them of the weather warning and stating that they had “urged all staff outwith St Andrews to go home while it is still safe to do so, and not to travel in tomorrow morning.”

Student Katie Hastings stated that her tutorial this morning had already been cancelled due to the snow and many more elements of teaching are expected to face disruption in the coming days.

Emails sent out by various schools have advised students that, “Following notification from Estates… due to the adverse weather conditions that are expected all teaching and administration buildings including the Art Building will be locked from 1:30pm Wednesday and will remain closed through Thursday 1st March.”

Following their initial announcement regarding the 2 p.m. closing time, at 1:18 p.m. today the Library staff announced that they would, “assess conditions tomorrow morning and if the weather allows we will reopen tomorrow at midday.”

St Andrews is not the only one to be hit by this storm, snow in London and severe weather all throughout Britain has delayed train services and closed major roads.

Several major news outlets and government agencies are monitoring the weather on both official websites as well as social media.

The Guardian has been keeping citizens updated on weather conditions and what to do in this situation.

One article stated that, ”Stein Connelly, Traffic Scotland’s operations manager has [on twitter] urged Scots to leave work early to avoid the worst of the snow this afternoon and this evening. He pointed out that the red extreme weather warning applies from 3pm on Wednesday to 10am on Thursday.”

Although March is round the corner, it looks as though this Scottish winter is not quite over and for the next few days it is advised that people stay warm, stay home and check weather conditions before traveling.

You can buy them directly from the vendor, or from third party sources if they are for your laptop, however its not all laptop may have a cover on the market. All over again, thanks for your suggestions.

  63. One thing I would like to say is the fact that before acquiring more personal computer memory, take a look at the machine within which it could be installed.

  72. Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this amazing blog. Some tips i would tell people will be to give up the particular mentality they will buy at this moment and pay back later. Being a society we all tend to make this happen for many issues. This includes holidays, furniture, as well as items we would like. However, you need to separate your current wants from all the needs. While you are working to improve your credit rating score make some sacrifices. For example you may shop online to economize or you can click on second hand suppliers instead of high-priced department stores pertaining to clothing.

  73. I’ve learned many important things by means of your post. I will also like to express that there may be a situation where you will get a loan and do not need a cosigner such as a Fed Student Aid Loan. However, if you are getting that loan through a standard lender then you need to be ready to have a cosigner ready to make it easier for you. The lenders can base any decision on a few issues but the most important will be your credit rating. There are some financial institutions that will likewise look at your work history and make a decision based on that but in most cases it will hinge on your credit score.

  74. Thanks for any other great article. Where else may anyone get that kind of information in such an ideal manner of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m at the look for such information.

  75. This is the correct blog for anybody who needs to search out out about this topic. You realize so much its virtually exhausting to argue with you (not that I truly would want?HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!

I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

  78. Interesting post here. One thing I would like to say is that often most professional domains consider the Bachelor’s Degree like thejust like the entry level requirement for an online course. Though Associate Certification are a great way to get started on, completing a person’s Bachelors opens up many doorways to various occupations, there are numerous internet Bachelor Course Programs available through institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online editions of their diplomas but often for a significantly higher payment than the providers that specialize in online course programs.
